Personal Accountability Goes Down The Toilet (Or Clogs Your Arteries)

BusinessInspired by successful lawsuits against tobacco companies, some obese folks hope to squeeze money out of fast food places. The reasoning seems to be this: "Hi, I'm a big, fat idiot. It's your fault, because you sell things that I like." Seems that french fries probably don't qualify as "addictive" (there are no significant withdrawal symptoms) and I've never seen an ad that suggested a whopper is healthy. If this works, I'm suing movie theaters, who not only provided buttered popcorn, but had my consume it while sitting on my ass. Then I'm going after the potato chip companies---ought not to be able to sell deliciously salted, fried potatoes, now that we suspect they may lead to cancer. In fact, I have a new policy---I'm suing everybody who's ever sold me anything. My mental health isn't everything it could be, and I suspect it's that my expectations never exactly match my experience. I'm addicted to capitalism, consumerism, and materialism, you see, and these punks feed my sickness.

A bunch of people are suing, in their grief and shock, to recover from having gotten fat when McD's french fries were the same-old-fat-laden things.

Don't get me wrong...if McD's lied, and said they would reduce the fat, they should be held to that. But why the heck did they want to reduce the fat in French Fries. That's like "this cocaine will get you 50% less high and antisocial". I mean, french fries. fries. It says "fry" right there in the name. They're unhealthy, even at 10% of the fat levels... And they taste good. But when I eat them, it's entirely *my* fault for the health consequences.
